The ADCR Consortium extends its membership window (until 31st July 2020)
Update 01/07/2020: this extended membership window has now closed.
The Aerospace and Defence Chromates Re-Authorisation Consortium (ADCR) announced at the beginning of April that a window for new members to apply was open until the end of May 2020. Unfortunately, this announcement coincided with many companies in the EU being placed in lockdown as a measure to counter the effects of Covid-19.
As a result of the lockdown, several potential new applicants have had to delay joining the consortium, particularly where decision makers within businesses, or potential consortium representatives have been temporarily furloughed or placed on reduced hours.
The ADCR have therefore decided to extend the membership window until 31st July 2020. This allowed time for companies to convene the right people within their organisations to provide the necessary support (e.g. technical, legal, or financial advice) for their application.
Applications were considered from companies who use chromates within the Aerospace or Defence supply chains.
ADCR’s technical support team are available to answer any questions. We will contact all companies and organisations who have registered an interest during the membership window, offering advice and answering questions on the consortium.
